skipping stones

"Throw me onto the surface of this pond, 
let me slip me through your fingertips,
and hear my shell echo on the water;
 hurl me so I defy the barrier of sound, 
let me fly for seconds,
catch my lungful of air,
allow me to dive into asphyxiating waves, 
before all that's left
as I drown again 
are ripples of my demise."
